"If I had to sum up Bella Homes in just a few words, it would be this: Our family dream home. Bella Home Design is comprised of the perfect team absolutely dedicated to making your dream home become a reality. As busy as they were managing multiple home projects, Marco and his team were truly dedicated in attending to our desires and genuinely GENUINELY cared. They didn't nickel and dime us, but from the beginning I always got the vibe that their greatest satisfaction was seeing their customer absolutely LOVE their home. And we ABSOLUTELY LOVE our home. 150%! When we first came across the house we bought it was about 50% complete. It had the foundation, framing, and roof completed. Initially, we thought the house was a bit too big for what we were going for, but the architectural design and layout of the home honestly made the house a perfect fit for us. We came in at just the right time where we were able to make some design tweaks (i.e. remove elevator design, modify master bedroom closet, modify formal living room for an office, modify a wine room into a storage space, etc). Additionally, we were able to make selections for all the bathrooms, accents walls, mud rooms, wet bar, coffee bar, butler pantry, and much more. As a Naval Officer, I take a lot of pride in being a man of integrity. Therefore, I want to be completely honest. Was there bumps along the way? For sure. But when you're building your dream home, and its not an actual custom home build - there will be some bumps. I would take these bumps every single time as opposed to going through the pains of a new construction custom build that comes with a lot of risks. With that said, every bump was able to be communicated and worked out. When I say Marco has a team truly dedicated to attending to our desires - he has a great team. Tony, their CFO, was not too busy to get his hands dirty and took the time to work on some requests and/or discrepancies. He is a man that takes a lot of pride in punctuality and timelines, but he is also a man that prides on delivery a quality product to his customers. Darren, one of their designers, was so responsive and upbeat - he was an absolute pleasure to work with and provided timely responses. In a time where supply chain issues are present, Bella Homes did a remarkable job in planning ahead and delivering a quality product to its customers. What made this experience even better was the fact that they valued my input and often sought my input. What an amazing feeling it was to walk into a home that you felt like was a custom build, and not having to feel like you have to hire a bunch of contractors after closing to do a bunch of remodeling. For those in the military and are familiar with performance reviews, as a senior Lieutenant Commander in the Navy with 16 years of service I would give Bella Homes my absolute HIGHEST RECOMMENDATION for building you your next home. From the quality workmanship to the communication and genuine desire to perfect (as reasonable as possible) our dream home, we will forever be grateful for the home they delivered to us. Thank you Marco, Tony, and the remarkable Bella Home Design crew. You truly built us our dream home!"

"It went great! Especially helpful was the site manager Adam Metzger! He was a delight with which to work. He was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and knew his business. I cannot envision any individual coming close to matching his expertise. This comes from me, Larry A. Seitz, Ph.D. with degrees in engineering, physics, math, and statistics. Without hesitation or reservation I would hire Adam in a minute. After construction was completed he stopped by on his own time just to make sure everything was okay. If you ever have the opportunity to hire this individual, do it immediately."

"Outstanding. Thoughtful and honest. Responded promptly to all tasking."

"To summarize, I am very disappointed with my experience. Don't be fooled, during the sales portion about the use of the word "inspection", they didn't run any permits for my renovation and Franik only comes to check work every 2 or 3 days. The communication was great at the beginning of the project and just slowly got worse. Communication always picked up when it was time for a payment. The sales person Alejandro and the project manager Franik don't relay messages to each other which lead to confusion with the work. The subcontractors they use are looking to get in and out and they sacrifice attention to detail for time. It was a rotating door of sub contractors from day to day, if you wanted something done the next day there is a chance it won't be the same crew the next day. I had issues with multiple different crews trying to get rid of debris by stashing it in wall cavities that were opened from demolition. Work had to be redone for multiple small parts of the renovation because the crews never asked for input or Alejandro and Franik didn't explain things properly to them. Consider using someone else, anyone else."
